  • Landscape Sensitivity Appraisal New Alresford
    WINCHESTER DISTRICT LOCAL PLAN PART 2 LANDSCAPE SENSITIVITY APPRAISAL NEW ALRESFORD This appraisal has been prepared with reference to Hampshire County Council’s guidance document ‘Assessing Landscape Sensitivity at a Strategic Level’ (2006) which recognises the use of Landscape Character Assessments to inform land use and land management policy and, in addition, the need to assess the main attributes of landscape as a basis for gauging sensitivity. The approach in this guidance document does not try to place a value on different landscapes, nor does it seek to establish the capacity of landscape to accommodate development. In addition, this appraisal is based on published Winchester City and Hampshire County Council documents on landscape character and type; physical constraints identified through a desk top exercise; and professional judgement from site visits. A more detailed landscape assessment may be required prior to the final identification and allocation of sites for development. _________________________________________________________ CONTENTS Page 1.0 Landscape and Townscape Character and Types 2 1.1 Landscape Character 1.2 Townscape Character 1.3 Landscape Type 2.0 Landscape Sensitivity 4 2.1 Physical landscape 2.2 Experiential / Perceptual 2.3 Historic Environment 2.4 Biodiversity 2.5 Visibility 3.0 Sensitivity Appraisals 7 3.1 Area east of Sun Lane 3.2 Area within Arlebury Park 3.3 Area west of Drove Lane 3.4 Area adjacent Spring Gardens 4.0 Summary of Key Landscape and Townscape Issues 10 Appendix 1 Visibility Constraints Map Appendix 2 Landscape Sensitivity Map New Alresford Landscape Sensitivity Appraisal November 2013 1 1.0 LANDSCAPE AND TOWNSCAPE CHARACTER AND TYPES Reference: County level 1 Landscape and Townscape Character Areas which identify key characteristics, qualities and forces for change: - New Alresford and areas to north and west: Itchen Valley 3c.

  • Area 3: Lower Itchen Valley Floodplain
    Landscape Character Area - Area 3 Area 3: Lower Itchen Valley Floodplain Eastleigh Southampton Airport River Itchen R a ilw ay Itchen Valley Country Park M27 Scale "Imagery copyright Digital Millennium 0 125 250 375 500 625 m Map Partnership 2006" 56 Landscape Character Assessment for Eastleigh Borough Landscape Character Area - Area 3 Description 4.38 This is a landscape of flat grassland in former flood meadows that is now used predominantly to graze cattle. The open views are punctuated by tree belts and occasional small copses found alongside the ditches and streams. 4.39 At the southern end of the character area, the elevated M27 cuts through at the edge. To the west lies Southampton Airport. The sight and sound of the motorway traffic and airport aircraft dominate the character. The elevated railway cuts through the northern edge. The southern edge of the boundary roughly conforms to the boundary of the special area of conservation. 4.40 A large section of this area is occupied by the Itchen Valley Country Park which runs up to the railway embankment in north. The park is made up of water meadows associated with the River Itchen, woodland and meadows. The river meanders through the centre of the park with a network of small streams diffusing out. The Itchen Navigation runs through the area to the west of the river. The floodplain is so wide that there is virtually no sense of being in a valley, except at the area’s eastern edge. A more dominant characteristic is the great visual interest provided in foreground views by wetland vegetation, the river itself and the earthworks of the former flood meadows.

  • Welcome to Morn Hill Caravan Club Site
    Welcome to Morn Hill Caravan Club Site Get to know Morn Hill This is a large site in Winchester, yet not overwhelming, as it’s divided into two areas, and is well separated by good trees and shrubs. It’s conveniently located for the ferries and exploring surrounding areas, however there is no late arrival area at this site which means it isn’t ideal for early or late ferry crossings. Winchester is an old Cathedral City of considerable charm, for it has retained many of its ancient buildings and happily excluded cars from its heart. This is an ideal base for touring, within an hour’s drive you can reach Oxford, Windsor, Chichester and the South Downs, The New Forest, Salisbury, Stonehenge, Southampton and Portsmouth. Things to see and do from this Club Site Local attractions • Marwell Wildlife Park • National Motor Museum, Beaulieu A chance to get close to the wonders of the natural world – and play The world-famous National Motor Museum, Palace House home of a big part in helping to save them. the Montagu family and Abbey Ruins containing an exhibition of 01962 777407 monastic life. www.marwell.org.uk 01590 612123 • The New Forest Wildlife Park www.beaulieu.co.uk Set in 25 acres of natural, ancient woodland, take a wildlife • Mid-Hants Railway Watercress Line walkabout and experience the close proximity of otters, owls, deer, Travel by steam or diesel train through 10 miles of beautiful badgers, foxes, lynx and other native species.
